Want to Blog? Do It on Patch!

North Kingstown Patch's comment stream isn't the only way to make your voice heard here. For those who are truly passionate about politics, food, family, schools, social issues, exercise, business, fashion and everything in between, we invite you to blog on Patch.

No qualifications necessary: you just need to be able to form words into sentences. 

• Are you passionate about North Kingstown's core issues?
• Are you an expert craftsman or hobbyist who can share do-it-yourself tips?
• Do you have strong opinions about local government?
• Can you just make us all laugh?
• Can you write compellingly?

Then, we want to hear from you.

This isn't a reporting job. It's blogging. You write what you want to say when you want to say it. Do it on your schedule, whether that's posting multiple entries per day or a couple times a month.

Patch bloggers are not paid and will own their blogs, so if you are already blogging and want to share with our readers, too, let us know. This is a chance to share your expertise and opinions with a wider audience!

Patch won't own what you post, so you can repost your entries to your other blogs. Much like The Huffington Post has done, Patch is providing local bloggers an online platform to have their words seen by a larger audience.

Be interesting. Be provocative. Be yourself.

We're looking for parents, teachers, coaches, students, pet lovers, bartenders, food lovers, volunteers, sports fans, aspiring comedians, musicians, you name it.

My role as editor would be to review blog entries submitted to NK Patch to ensure there are no libelous claims. I might correct obvious typos, too.

If you'd like to chat about the opportunity to share your unique voice with our readers, let me know by emailing samantha.turner@patch.com or by calling me at 401-862-9881.
